Since the middle of the last century, Gyprock plaster Boards have gained tremendous popularity in the world of construction materials. Without any doubt, we too understand the importance of plaster board when it comes to providing a simple interior cladding product as the best available for the last 70 years. Fire tested plasterboard, with important but very limited applications in fire testedplasterboard protection and no capability in water of flooding or the attendance to health issues in bacteria in the paper faced Gyprock Board and fire safe plaster board type products.

However the times have changed and demands from the buyer public and large corporations commissioning development of such new projects have become more discerning in the use of such Gyprock and plaster board products which have a very low eco value and contribute heavily to Co2 pollution in manufacture.
